Chapter 2749

Since these investors couldn't bring much benefit to Ma Changgeng, his enthusiasm also appeared somewhat fake. Yu Ruizhi and the others naturally saw this, but they didn't care about the enthusiasm of a County Party Committee Secretary, and they were simply happy to say fewer words to Ma Changgeng.

Su Xinghui naturally saw this too, which made him surprised at Ma Changgeng's shortsightedness and narrowness. However, most Chinese cadres were like this to begin with—if it didn't concern them, they would hang it high, and if this matter might bring him a threat, it was even more so.

However, Su Xinghui's determination would not be shaken by the thoughts of a County Party Committee Secretary. If Yinshan County was really suitable for tourism, then he would vigorously support Yinshan County in developing tourism. It wasn't like this Secretary Ma would dare to openly obstruct it, right?

Once the tourism here was developed and the people below tasted the sweetness, it wouldn't be something Secretary Ma could obstruct.

Su Xinghui had already learned that although this Yinshan County was named Yinshan, it didn't have any wealth like a gold mountain or silver mountain. Their GDP was in the middle to lower range among the districts and counties in Baozhou. It could be described in one word, and that was poor.

It wouldn't work if it didn't change here. Since Su Xinghui came to Baozhou, he had the responsibility to change the status quo of Baozhou. He wouldn't be like some people, if it didn't concern him, he would hang it high.

After the pleasantries were finished, Ma Changgeng greeted Su Xinghui, got into his own car, and led the way to the county town. Su Xinghui also let the motorcade follow behind.

Before long, they arrived at the Yinshan County Party Committee compound. Everyone sat here for a while, and Su Xinghui said he wanted to go to the schools and villages below to take a look. Ma Changgeng laughed, "Mayor Su, I have something to do today, so I will let County Magistrate Xing accompany you to go below and take a look."

Ma Changgeng's tone made Xing Guodong and Xia Song and the others look sideways. However, Ma Changgeng didn't have any uneasy emotions at all. He was originally a veteran County Party Committee Secretary in Baozhou and had been a County Party Committee Secretary for several years. He was also an old colleague and old relationship of the Municipal Party Committee Secretary Shi Fengnian, so he had always liked to show off his veteran status.

He didn't think much of ordinary deputy mayors, let alone Su Xinghui, such a young deputy mayor. In Ma Changgeng's eyes, Su Xinghui wasn't even as old as his son; he was completely a child who hadn't dried his mouth, and such a child was worth him accompanying him?

Of course, Ma Changgeng knew that Su Xinghui had a strong background. But what if the background was strong? This was Baozhou, this was Yinshan. Could he remove him just because he didn't accompany him?

In the final analysis, this was Ma Changgeng's consistent character. Except for being relatively respectful to Shi Fengnian, he didn't respect other municipal leaders that much, and even somewhat relied on his old age to sell his old age.

It was precisely because of his character that he didn't rise up. Originally, according to his qualifications two years ago, he had hope of becoming a deputy mayor in the city. However, not many people spoke well of him. If it weren't for Shi Fengnian protecting him, his County Party Committee Secretary position might not have been kept.

However, Ma Changgeng himself didn't care. What if he became a deputy mayor in the city? He might not be willing. It was so comfortable to be a County Party Committee Secretary in the county. He liked this feeling of being the first-in-command the most.

Being this County Party Committee Secretary, he was a feudal lord in Yinshan County, and everyone responded to his call. Everywhere he went, people welcomed him respectfully. What was good about going to the city? Being a deputy mayor, there were so many leaders above him, and he had to bow and scrape to others every day. He couldn't bear that temper.

Ma Changgeng's tone was somewhat disrespectful, but Su Xinghui's expression didn't change at all, as if he couldn't hear Ma Changgeng's disrespect at all. He nodded, "If Secretary Ma has something to do, just go and get busy. It's fine for Comrade Guodong to accompany me."

Ma Changgeng laughed again, "I'm really sorry. When I come back tonight, I will accompany you to drink a few glasses of wine."

Su Xinghui nodded slightly. His composure and calmness made Ma Changgeng feel very surprised. Was this still a young man who wasn't even thirty years old? This was too steady, right? In Ma Changgeng's view, even Shi Fengnian didn't have such steadiness.

Not to mention anything else, in the counties below, if anyone spoke to Shi Fengnian with such an attitude, Shi Fengnian's face would immediately turn black. However, Su Xinghui didn't even change his expression from beginning to end.

Seeing Su Xinghui's performance, Ma Changgeng suddenly felt, was his performance just now falling into the lower class?

However, there was no room for recovery now. Xing Guodong and another deputy county magistrate in charge of culture, education, and health, Du Lijuan, accompanied Su Xinghui to the countryside together.

Du Lijuan was a middle-aged woman under forty. She was also a writer, a member of the Yanbei Provincial Writers Association, and a person from a democratic party. She occupied three of the four advantages of "knowledgeable, young, and female," so she was able to become this deputy county magistrate in charge. Becoming this deputy county magistrate was also a matter of this year, and it hadn't been half a year yet.

However, her status as a person from a democratic party also restricted her progress space. At least in Yinshan County, it was impossible for her to hold a higher position. Higher positions required the status of a party member. If she wanted to progress, she could only go to the municipal government.

However, perhaps because of this, Du Lijuan appeared very indifferent, without the expression of other county leaders who were keen on fame and power. She was not a person who sharpened her head to climb up to begin with. It was only because the policy required such a person in the county government team that she was passively pushed up.

Du Lijuan originally wanted Su Xinghui to take a look at several schools in the county town. Yinshan County's economy was not good, but several schools in the county town still had something to see, especially Yinshan No. 1 Middle School, which could be considered a key middle school in the whole province, and its enrollment rate every year was among the best in the whole province.

Although Du Lijuan was not keen on power and position, she didn't want the work she was in charge of to look too ugly in front of higher-level leaders.

However, Su Xinghui said to go directly to the townships below, take a look at the schools in the townships, and take a look at a few places with good scenery by the way. Du Lijuan could only obey.

Come to think of it, Du Lijuan was also in charge of tourism. Although Yinshan County's tourism industry was approximately equal to nothing, there was still a Tourism Bureau. Today, in order to accompany Su Xinghui, the directors of the Yinshan County Education Bureau and Tourism Bureau also followed in the motorcade.

Su Xinghui let Xing Guodong get into his car, and the motorcade drove to the east of the county town.

As soon as he got into the car, Xing Guodong frowned and said, "Ma Changgeng is too outrageous. He even started to show off in front of you, Mayor!"

Xia Song was also somewhat indignant, "Yes, what is he arrogant about?"

Su Xinghui spoke indifferently, "You shouldn't talk about others' rights and wrongs behind their backs. And there is no rule that a deputy mayor must be accompanied by a County Party Committee Secretary when coming to the county, right? Doesn't the County Party Committee Secretary have his own work? It is the right counterpart to let the government people accompany him. I don't want to hear such words from your mouths again in the future."

Su Xinghui's words made both of them feel a chill. They accepted the teaching calmly and stopped talking about Ma Changgeng.

However, they admired Su Xinghui's breadth of mind even more. Only such a person is a person who does big things, right? Like Ma Changgeng, his pattern is too small, so it's no wonder he couldn't become a big weapon.

Xing Guodong asked, "Mayor Su, which places are you prepared to see?"

Su Xinghui said, "Which places are poor, which places have poor conditions, which places have good scenery, then look at where."

Xing Guodong nodded knowingly.

About an hour later, the motorcade arrived at Funiu Township, more than 30 kilometers away from the county town. This was a mountainous township. Along the way, one could see towering mountains and ridges. The mountain roads were winding, and the road conditions were not very good. Therefore, it took so long to walk more than 30 kilometers.

Fortunately, it hadn't snowed yet. Otherwise, the road would be even harder to walk. And on the days when heavy snow blocked the mountains, this place would simply be isolated from the world.

On the way, Xing Guodong also said that Funiu Township was basically one of the poorest townships in the whole Yinshan County. After another month or so, Funiu Township would be blocked by heavy snow. By that time, even if Su Xinghui wanted to come, he wouldn't be able to come.

Su Xinghui asked, "Then have you been here?"

Xing Guodong nodded, "Of course I have been here. Since I took office these days, I have run to every township in the county. Although I dare not say I know too much, the basic situation is still clear."
